Abstract

The head (4) is constructed like an umbrella, the convex shell (5) sitting on a conical collar (6) serving as a "shaft". The collar contains the female cone (3) on to which the pin (2) of the anchorage stem (1) is pushed. Thus, an annular space (8) remains between the convex shell (5) and the conical collar (6), and as a result of this space there is a larger volume available for the body fluid serving as lubricant. <IMAGE>

Description

Gelenkkopf für eine KugelgelenkprotheseJoint head for a ball joint prosthesis

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gelenkkopf für eine Kugelgelenkprothese, der über eine konische Steckverbindung auf einem Verankerungsschaft aufgesteckt ist, wobei ein Mutterkonus des Gelenkkopfes den Zapfen des Verankerungsschaftes aufnimmt und zwischen beiden ein Hohlraum verbleibt.The invention relates to a joint head for a ball joint prosthesis, which is attached to an anchoring shaft via a conical connector is, wherein a nut cone of the joint head is the pin of the anchoring shaft takes up and a cavity remains between the two.

Gelenkköpfe, die in der genannten Art auf dem Verankerungsschaft befestigt sind, sind - vor allem für Hüftgelenkprothesen - bekannt (CH-PS 568 753). Weiterhin ist bekannt, dass die als "Fremdkörper" wirkenden Prothesen nach der Implantation in relativ kurzer Zeit von bindegewerbeartigem Narbengewebe umwachsen und abgekapselt werden. Dieses Gewebe umschliesst dabei den Gelenkkopf relativ dicht; neben der Gelenkprothese ist der Raum innerhalb des Gewebes mit Körperflüssigkeit gefüllt, die gleichzeitig als Schmierflüssigkeit für das Gelenk dient, besonders bei Fraktur-oder Teilprothesen, bei denen nur der Femurkopf durch einen künstlichen Gelenkkopf ersetzt wird, der in der natürlichen Hüftgelenkspfanne gelagert wird. Die Praxis hat nun gezeigt, dass sehr häufig das für die Flüssigkeit zur Verfügung stehende Volumen innerhalb des Narbengewerbes zu gering ist, um eine für die Schmierung des Gelenkes notwendige Flüssigkeitsmenge zu speichern.Rod ends attached to the anchoring shaft in the aforementioned manner are, are - especially for hip joint prostheses - known (CH-PS 568 753). Farther it is known that prostheses that act as "foreign bodies" after implantation in a relatively short period of time it is surrounded by connective tissue-like scar tissue and encapsulated will. This tissue encloses the joint head relatively tightly; next to the Joint prosthesis is the space within the tissue filled with body fluid, which also serves as a lubricating fluid for the joint, especially in fracture or Partial prostheses in which only the femoral head is replaced by an artificial joint head stored in the natural acetabulum. The practice now has shown that very often the volume available for the liquid within the scar tissue is too small to have one for the lubrication of the joint to store the necessary amount of liquid.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, das für Flüssigkeiten innerhalb des von Narbengewerbes eingeschlossenen Raumes zur Verfügung stehende Volumen zu vergrössern. Dieses Ziel wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch erreicht, dass der als Kugelschale ausgebildete Gelenkkopf schirmartig auf einer den Mutterkonus enthaltenden Konusbüchse sitzt, wobei zwischen der Innenwand der Kugelschale und der Konusbüchse ein freier Ringraum ausgebildet ist.The object of the invention is that for liquids within the to increase the available volume of the space enclosed by the scar tissue. This goal is achieved according to the invention in that the formed as a spherical shell The joint head sits like an umbrella on a cone bushing containing the nut cone, whereby between the Inner wall of the spherical shell and the conical bush a free annulus is formed.

Durch diese Massnahme wird gegenüber den bisherigen Konstruktionen nicht nur das Volumen für die "Schmier"-Flüssigkeit vergrössert, sondern auch die Masse an körperfremden Material im lebenden Gewebe verringert, wodurch gleichzeitig das Gewicht des Gelenkkopfes reduziert wird.This measure is compared to the previous designs not only increases the volume for the "lubricating" liquid, but also the Mass of exogenous material in living tissue decreases, thereby simultaneously the weight of the joint head is reduced.

In neuerer Zeit wird bei den Implantationen sehr häufig der Gelenkkopf erst während der Implantationsoperation auf den Zapfen des bereits in den Femurknochen eingesetzten Verankerungsschaftes aufgesteckt, um eine Anpassung an den individuellen Patienten zu erreichen; diese Anpassung erfolgt durch Auswählen eines Gelenkkopfes aus einer Serie, bei der die Lage des Gelenkkopfmittelpunktes relativ zu dem Mutterkonus variiert ist. Sehr häufig ist es bei der Operation nicht möglich, in dem Gelenkkopf den Hohlraum für den Mutterkonus frei von biologischen Verunreinigungen zu halten, was unter Umständen zu Gewebezersetzungen im Innern des Hohlraumes und - bei metallischen Gelenkköpfen -zu Materialkorrosionen führen kann. Diese Schwierigkeiten können vermieden werden, wenn aus dem Hohlraum mindestens zwei Durchtrittsöffnungen durch die Konusbüchse hindurch in den Ringraum führen, so dass der im Mutterkonus verbleibende Hohlraum dauernd von Körperflüssigkeit durchspült wird.In recent times, the joint head has become very common in implantations only during the implantation operation on the peg of the already in the femur bone used anchoring shaft attached in order to adapt to the individual Reach patients; this adjustment is made by selecting a joint head from a series in which the position of the joint head center point relative to the nut cone is varied. Very often it is not possible during the operation in the joint head to keep the cavity for the nut cone free from biological contamination, which may lead to tissue decomposition inside the cavity and - in the case of metallic ones Rod ends - can lead to material corrosion. These difficulties can be avoided if at least two openings through the cone bushing from the cavity through it into the annular space, so that the cavity remaining in the nut cone is constantly flushed with body fluids.

Als Materialien für den neuen Gelenkkopf, der mit seiner Konusbüchse aus einem Stück besteht, eignen sich alle in der Implantat-Technik üblichen und bewährten Werkstoffe: also z.B. Metalle, Metall-Legierungen, Kunstoffe, unter Umständen faserverstärkt, keramische Materialien und pyrolytischer Kohlenstoff.As materials for the new rod end, the one with its conical bush consists of one piece, all of the usual ones in implant technology are suitable proven materials: e.g. metals, metal alloys, plastics, under certain circumstances fiber reinforced, ceramic materials and pyrolytic carbon.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels im Zusammenhang mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert.In the following the invention is based on an exemplary embodiment explained in more detail in connection with the drawing.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen erfindungsgemäss ausgebildeten Gelenkkopf auf einem Verankerungsschaft einer Hüftgelenkprothese, wobei der Gelenkkopf im Schnitt dargestellt ist; Fig. 2 und 3 sind die Schnitte II-II und III-III von Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a joint head designed according to the invention an anchoring shaft of a hip joint prosthesis, the joint head in section is shown; FIGS. 2 and 3 are sections II-II and III-III from FIG. 1.

Ein Verankerungsschaft 1 einer Hüftgelenkprothese, der zum Einsetzen in den Femur bestimmt ist, trägt an seinem oberen Ende einen konisch zulaufenden Zapfen 2. Auf diesen ist mit einem entsprechenden Mutterkonus 3 ein Gelenkkopf 4 aufgesetzt.An anchoring shaft 1 of a hip joint prosthesis for insertion is intended in the femur, carries a tapered at its upper end Pin 2. A joint head 4 with a corresponding nut cone 3 is on this put on.

Der Gelenkkopf 4 besteht aus einer relativ dünnen, schirmartigen Kugelschale 5, an die als "Stiel" eine Konusbüchse 6 angesetzt ist. Die Konusbüchse 6 nimmt den Mutterkonus 3 auf, der bei einzelnen Gelenkköpfen 4 unterschiedlich "tief" in der Konusbüchse 6 angeordnet ist, um - wie erwähnt - den Abstand, den die Kugelschale 5 in Richtung der Achse des Zapfens 2 von einer willkürlich gewählten Bezugslinie 7 hat, variieren zu können.The joint head 4 consists of a relatively thin, umbrella-like spherical shell 5, to which a conical bushing 6 is attached as a "stem". The conical sleeve 6 takes the nut cone 3, the different "deep" in individual rod ends 4 in the conical sleeve 6 is arranged to - as mentioned - the distance that the spherical shell 5 in the direction of the axis of the pin 2 from an arbitrarily chosen reference line 7 has to be able to vary.

Der schirmartige Aufbau des Gelenkkopfes 4 ergibt im Innern der Kugelschale 5 einen freien Ringraum 8, der nach unten offen ist und nach der Implantation im wesentlichen von Narbengewebe abgeschlossen wird.The umbrella-like structure of the joint head 4 results in the interior of the spherical shell 5 a free annular space 8, which is open at the bottom and after the implantation in is essentially completed by scar tissue.

Auch bei auf dem Zapfen 2 aufgestecktem Gelenkkopf 4 verbleibt zwischen der Kugelschale 5 und dem Zapfen 2 im Innern der Konusbüchse 6 ein Hohlraum 9, der über kanalartige Durchtrittsöffnungen 10 mit dem Ringraum 8 in Verbindung steht, so dass aus dem Ringraum 8 durch die Oeffnungen 10 und den Hohlraum 9 zurück in den Ringraum 8 dauernd Körperflüssigkeit fliessen kann, um so eine Spülung des Hohlraumes 9 zu erreichen. Das Vorhandensein des Ringraumes 8 stellt sicher, dass Innerhalb der erwähnten, jedoch nicht dargestellten Kapsel aus Narben- oder Bindegewebe, das die Prothese als Fremdkörper im lebenden Gewebe umschliesst, ein für eine derartige Spülung ausreichende Flüssigkeitsmenge zur Verfügung steht.Even when the joint head 4 is pushed onto the pin 2, there remains between the spherical shell 5 and the pin 2 in the interior of the conical sleeve 6 a cavity 9, the is in communication with the annular space 8 via channel-like passage openings 10, so that from the annular space 8 through the openings 10 and the cavity 9 back into the annulus 8 body fluid can flow continuously, so one To achieve flushing of the cavity 9. The presence of the annular space 8 represents sure that within the mentioned, but not shown capsule made of cicatricial or connective tissue that surrounds the prosthesis as a foreign body in living tissue, a sufficient amount of liquid is available for such a rinse.
